When the elephant was exhausted, Galen checked again to see if the elephant would still get up, and it was always good to be careful, not to capsize in the gutter. After seeing that the giant elephant did not react, Galen walked around the giant elephant and walked in the direction where the group leader was, and after a while, Galen saw the group leader, and the man who was chased by the giant elephant, he was whipped by the giant elephant's trunk at the end, the man was lying on the ground and had not yet woken up, and the team member who attracted the giant elephant was feeding him water and taking care of him.

The regiment commander watched from the side, and after seeing Galen come back, the regiment commander asked Galen if he was injured or something, Galen returned to see if he had returned, and then asked about the situation of the person who was injured by the giant elephant, and the regiment commander said: "He probably can't leave this place alive, he was finally hit by the giant elephant, broke 4 ribs, and it is estimated that his internal organs were also injured a lot, and he has not woken up yet." When the regimental commander finished speaking, the wounded man coughed violently and kept spitting bloodshot foam.

When the regimental commander saw him wake up, he immediately came to his side and said, "How are you feeling now, don't panic, it's going to be fine, you can get through, we won't give up on you." The man coughed violently and said, "Don't comfort me, I won't survive, the head of the regiment promised me one thing." ”

The head of the regiment said: "No matter what, I promise you, you speak slowly." The man said: "In Utistan I have a wife and two children, and the specific location is at number 29 of the central street, so bring back my share of the remuneration to them, with which money should last until the children grow up." The head of the regiment said, "I remember, and promised you to promise to give them your share of the commission." ”

He was taking care of the injured man, the man who had attracted the giant elephant, and said, "I'm sorry that I hurt you, and I should have been the one who died, but you have endured such an unwarranted disaster, I'm sorry." The injured man spat out a mouthful of blood, and then continued to say intermittently: "You can't be blamed for this, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, and this is the case in this business, but my luck is relatively poor." The person who took care of him said, "I will also help you take care of your family, and I will definitely help your child grow up." ”

The injured man spat out a few words with difficulty: "Thank you, and thank you to the little brother who helped me lead away the giant elephant, but I can't repay you." After saying this, the wounded man seemed to have exhausted all his strength, his body trembled, and he kept spitting blood, and then his eyes widened, and he did not move, and died like this. All of them felt heavy in their hearts, and they all fell silent with an unspeakable sense of sadness and loss as they watched their partner die.

After a while, the regimental commander said, "Help him close his eyes, dig a pit and bury him, and then go to get the ivory, and the task is complete." When everyone heard the words "the task was completed", they didn't have the same excitement as before, and a few people silently dug a pit and buried the dead. Then they all observed a few hours of silence and left.

All the hearts of all the people are very heavy, who has no burden, the person who died still has two children to raise, so it is the family who dies and suffers. These unfortunate things may come to their heads one day in the future, how good their families are, the helplessness of the adventurers, and the team members feel deeply powerless. Then the group headed for the place where the elephant had fallen.

After a while, the members of the group found the giant elephant, the giant elephant was not completely dead, but there were twenty or thirty lions around the giant elephant, biting the giant elephant frantically, and the giant elephant kicked its legs from time to time and whispered and wailed. The lions seemed to have spotted the people, and the lions patrolling the side sounded a warning sound, and the members of the group knew that the ivory could not be taken today. The head of the regiment said: "It depends on the situation, today is the time to take the ivory, let's go, come back tomorrow to get it, my poison is very strong, I don't know how many lions will die." ”

The group had nothing to be nostalgic about, so they just walked away, and the ivory was there anyway. Soon, the whole team found a place to rest, and it was not too far from the position of the giant elephant, only about eight hundred meters away. Everyone rested, the task was completed, but a partner died, which was originally a very happy thing, but now it is not happy, everyone is silently doing their own thing, and there is no mood to talk.

After nightfall, Galen did not rest, but sat by the fire, thinking of the dead man, who had died in front of him for the first time in his life. There is an indescribable sense of powerlessness, I can't change anything, I'm an ordinary person, I don't know where I'll die in the future, and the danger has never been far away from me. Galen believes that only by being strong enough can more dangers be avoided, and now Galen is even more determined.

There is only a crooked crescent moon today, Galen looked at the sky, and thought of Lux, is my sister okay now, will there be a strict instructor to punish her, Galen thought a lot, but every imagination is only an estimate, there is no way to know the situation of my sister, it is a general theory that I miss my family even more. After Galen had sat for a long time, the dew had already wet his hair, and Galen felt sleepy before he got up and went to sleep in the tent.

At about ten o'clock the next morning, the group came to the place where the giant elephant died, and it was a mess, and I wanted to vomit when I saw it. All kinds of bloody things, minced meat, the giant elephant with only ribs left, the corpses of lions and vultures that were poisoned after eating elephant meat lay in all directions, it looked like hell, and the smell of blood in the air was unbearable.

Everyone covered their noses and came to the giant elephant's side, and the head of the regiment took out a specific tool and quickly removed the ivory, which was stained with a lot of blood, about a meter and a half long. The two team members, one carrying an ivory, quickly left the location of the giant elephant's corpse, and the environment there was really unbearable.

The ivory was taken, the task was completed, there was nothing to be nostalgic about in this plain, and the regimental commander told everyone to pack up their things and prepare to leave. Galen felt as if he had walked this plain in vain, and there were no adventures, no improvement in his combat effectiveness, and a little sense of loss. After thinking about it for a while, such a thing as adventure is inherently unattainable, and how can there be so many adventures in the world, Galen was relieved. Soon packed up their things, and the group walked on the grassland, although they looked weathered, they could still see a little joy on their faces after the task was completed.

The group walked majestically side by side on the grassland, shining the sunset on people's backs, pulling out long shadows, as if to indicate that they would return with a full load. Such a picture is beautiful, but it will not exist for too long, the sunset is infinitely good, but it is almost dusk, good things are always short-lived, and no one can guarantee that they will not encounter any danger when they go back.

Two days later, the dark clouds appeared all at once, without any warning, the autumn of this plain, generally does not rain heavily, I don't know what happened this year, there are large dark clouds. And the clouds are like a circle, and it looks like a big storm will form, and in the worst case, a tornado. The head of the regiment looked at the sky and said: "This dark cloud is a little strange, it doesn't rain this season, is it because the weather has changed suddenly, or hurry up, hurry up and get out of the range of dark clouds, it's not easy to walk when it rains." ”

Some people see this situation and call it unlucky, what the hell weather, when it doesn't rain, but it has to rain at this time. But complaining is complaining, everyone still sped up the speed of the road, trying to get out of the plain before the rain, but the climate of the grassland is uncertain, sometimes there are dark clouds that do not rain for a week, sometimes it rains directly.

The group quickened their speed and walked a long way, but they still did not get out of the dark clouds, the sky gradually darkened, and the sky began to thunder constantly, and it seemed that it would soon rain. Soon at night, the wind began to hang, and the lightning in the sky became more frequent, and bright lights lit up the entire grassland from time to time. After a while, Galen felt a drop of rain hit his face, and then a downpour fell.

Galen walked into his tent with a strong wind, but the Storm Sword behind him reacted, trembling as if it was about to fly out. When Galen was in the Superfortress, he had heard Old Man Kieran say that this great sword was a good thing, and that what attracted the Great Sword of Storm would not be much worse. Galen unsheathed the Tempest Greatsword, took it in one hand, and walked out of the tent against the storm and the wind, and walked to the center of the storm. In the face of such a heavy rainstorm, Galen looked particularly thin, like a leaf fluttering in a strong wind, and like a flat boat on the sea with strong winds and waves, it looked so weak.

Galen held the trembling storm sword, walked in the rain, and the clothes of his whole body were attached to his body, a little uncomfortable, but Galen couldn't manage so much, and he was still moving forward unswervingly. The rain hits the hair and face, and there is basically only a gap left in the eyes, and the rain flows into the corners of the mouth, some of which are bitter and salty, and the taste is not good. Galen kept exhaling from his mouth, blowing away the rain that was about to flow into his mouth. It's really tough to walk through a torrential storm and strong winds.

The further back I went, the harder the road became, the rain was heavier, the wind was blowing wilder, and it took a lot of effort to take every step, but Galen was still struggling to persevere, and there was no intention of giving up. The more he walked towards the center of the storm, the more the Storm Sword trembled, and Galen still had to exert effort to control the Storm Sword, and it was more difficult to go to the back than to ascend to the sky. At the last moment, Galen stopped, feeling that if he took one more step, he would not be able to control the Storm Greatsword and was about to fly.

Galen stopped in the wind and rain with a lot of effort, and when he came here, Galen was unwilling to give up and didn't want to retreat. Then Galen took a step slowly, and when he took a step, the whole person was pulled up by the Storm Sword. Galen, who was originally holding the sword with one hand, did not let go even when he died, and his other hand slowly stretched out to the hilt of the sword, and finally held the Storm Sword with both hands, and flew in the sky together with the Storm Sword, flying to the center of the storm.

Because of the speed, Galen couldn't see anything at all, so he had to close his eyes tightly, and could only feel the high-speed raindrops hitting his face, and the pain was hot. After persevering for more than ten minutes, Galen suddenly couldn't feel the wind, and the storm sword was no longer violent, it was gentle, Galen felt that there was no point of force, and fell directly from a high place, and Galen was dizzy when he fell. Galen had not yet recovered from the storm just now, and waited for a while before slowly opening his eyes and getting up. Because he landed on his face, he took a bite of the dirt directly, and half of his soaked clothes were also covered with mud, which looked sloppy. Galen spat desperately, spitting out the dirt that had entered his mouth before he came back to his senses to look around.
